About: Blackmagic Design Teranex 3D Processor

Get all the connections, processing and quality of the Teranex 2D model but with added dual link SD/HD and 3 Gb/s SDI and HDMI 3D inputs and outputs for dual stream 3D conversions and Dual Link 4:4:4 quality conversions. Get the same amazing processing features plus 3D features such as 3D dual stream processing, conversion between 3D formats, patent pending 3D simulation and 3D camera rig alignment!

With the Teranex 3D processor, you can connect both left and right eye feeds and perform high quality de- interlacing, up conversion, down conversion, SD and HD cross/standards conversion, automatic cadence detection, removal and correction, even adjustable scaling and aspect ratio conversion on both eye channels at the same time! When capturing via a Thunderbolt port you get support for capture and playback of two independent video files for each eye, as well as full support for 3D capable NLE software!

High Quality De-interlace

Teranex quality starts with one of the world’s highest quality and most precise de-interlacers. Teranex features proprietary and patented PixelMotion de-interlacing algorithms so you get improved image quality by maintaining vertical resolution.

Up Conversion

When converting from NTSC or PAL SD up to 720HD or 1080HD, Teranex is perfect because it features a wide range of aspect ratio options and multi-direction diagonal filters so “jaggies” are eliminated and you get clean HD looking images!

Down Conversion

Teranex down conversion allows amazing SD feeds from your HD sources. 1080HD and 720HD video sources, combined with the de-interlace, and multi-direction diagonal filters, give you great SD images with a range of aspect choices.

SD/HD Cross Conversion

Often work is completed in the native film frame rate of 23.98 or 24 fps and then broadcast in 25 or 29.97 fps. Teranex converts between frame rates such as these, adding and removing cadence as required. Move between video and film worlds with ease!

SD/HD Standards Conversion

Linear standards conversion is easy with the powerful SIMD processor which can analyze and calculate pixels between frames as easily as anywhere in the frame! This is why Teranex performs the world’s best linear standards conversion available!

Cadence Detect and Remove

Teranex is unique because it can automatically remove cadence (3:2 pulldown) from video when converting 24 fps, even when the footage has been previously edited and suffers from flash fields. That’s perfect for mastering clean online content!

For times when you need to adjust images with complete freedom, Teranex includes fully adjustable scaling. Use adjustable scaling when you need to set custom aspect ratios, or even for reframing shots to remove image edge artifacts.

Aspect Ratio Conversion

Teranex supports a wide range of aspect ratios, including variable and fixed aspect ratios as well as active fill. Also included is the proprietary Smart aspect that warps images from 4:3 to 16:9 without visible stretching of the image that normally occurs.

Audio, Timecode and Subtitles

Video includes a lot more than images, and Teranex also supports conversion of up to 16 audio channels plus timecode and closed caption VANC data. This means timecode matches during conversion to the 0 frames, and subtitles are retained!

Dual Channel 3D and 4:4:4

When working in high end formats such as 4:4:4 and 3D, the Teranex 3D model includes dual SD/HD and 3 Gb/s SDI input and output for dual link 4:4:4 as well as single link 3 Gb/s SDI 4:4:4. The dual channels also allow true full resolution left and right eye 3D processing where both eyes are converted at the same time in perfect sync! When running true full resolution dual stream 3D, the HDMI connection and Thunderbolt capture and playback support dual stream 3D via the single cable.

Advanced 3D Tools

The Teranex 3D Processor includes powerful 3D processing that allows you to move to 3D without breaking the bank! You get full resolution dual stream 3D format and frame-rate conversions plus decoding and encoding of 3D streams. The new patent pending Teranex 3D simulator automatically generates incredible 3D signals from 2D sources! Also included is frame warping and alignment for 3D camera rigs to get perfect 3D live! You can even use two consumer cameras for true 3D!

3D Processing

The Teranex 3D Processor includes dual SDI channels so it allows all video conversion to be locked together perfectly between channels. Only Teranex lets you process both left and right eyes in full resolution and in absolute sync!

3D Conversions

With so many types of 3D formats available, it’s vital to be able to convert between them quickly and easily. The Teranex 3D model lets you convert using dual stream full resolution, side by side, and top and bottom 3D formats with ease!

3D Simulation

Take 2D feeds into a 3D live production, or convert 2D content into 3D with the Teranex 3D simulator! The patent pending 3D simulator will convert any SD or HD content into amazing dual stream 3D that needs to be seen to be believed!

3D Camera Align

The 3D camera align feature of the Teranex 3D Processor lets you frame sync even unlocked left and right eye signals and fix geometry errors in the camera rig. You can even correct the alignment of two consumer cameras for incredible 3D images!
